I am looking to buy a double din dvd player for my SS. I am not going to spend over $500. What would you guys suggest?

I just ordered a Kenwood DNX5140 for $575 with free shipping, on special through Monday. Not a sponsor but you can Google it and I'm sure it'll be apparent. Good luck.

I have a nice (very nice) barely used Pioneer Premier Avic F90BT that I'd probably sell for around what you're looking to pay. (maybe just a hair more than you say you'll pay, but well worth it)
It was like $1000 new! I actually have one in my denali and love it... I got another for my Camaro, but now I'm thinking that I may not go double din in the camaro...

clarion is a decent brand, i am a diehard alpine guy (no specific reason). I have never had problems with any alpine product and they build quality and sound quality are both top notch.. i would go alpine if i were you
